What changed in unstable, was that r-bioc-tximportdata was accepted on
2021-09-10, causing r-bioc-deseq2's autopkgtests to fail in testing
and stable.

They were passing in testing up until 2021-09-07, so they would have
been passing in stable on the day of the bullseye release.

Removing r-bioc-deseq2 from testing will not solve this bug.
Reassigning this bug to r-bioc-tximportdata and removing
r-bioc-tximportdata from testing will not help either, as only
removing r-bioc-tximportdata from unstable will make r-bioc-deseq2's
autopkgtests pass again.  I suggest reassigning this bug to dh-r,
where this behaviour in pkg-r-autopkgtest can at least be disabled for
now, until a proper solution for #961138 can be found.
